Environment & Behavior brings you international and interdisciplinary perspectives on the relationships between environments and human behavior. Both population growth and threats to environmental sustainability make the understanding of environment-behavior relationships increasingly critical to human well-being. Explore topics such as:

Natural environments and psychological restorativeness

Pro-environmental behavior and behavior change

Social and psychological processes related to environments of particular settings such as neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and extreme environments

Environmental perception and cognition, such as wayfinding and risk perception

Environmental feelings, attachment, and identity

Attitudes, values, priming, and norms that relate to environmental behavior

Effects of ambient conditions such as noise

Societal-level predictors of sustainability policies and designs

Environmental problems such as fear, stress, and crowding

Effects of innovative designs on human behavior

Environments and physical health, from hospitals to walkable neighborhoods and parks

Environment & behavior relations for particular groups such as children or elderly people

Spatial behavior processes and methods of study

Interdisciplinary Views

With Environment & Behavior you’ll benefit by exposure to the concepts and theories of experts from a variety of disciplines, including:

Anthropology

Architecture

Business

Design

Education

Geography

Health Science

Parks and Recreation

Political Science

Psychology

Sociology

Urban Planning.

In addition, researchers working in relevant governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Forest Service, regularly publish in E&B.

Thematic Discussions

Occasionally, Environment & Behavior supplements its broad coverage with single-theme Special Issues devoted to topics of particular concern and guest-edited by leading scholars. Previous Special Issues have included:

Environment & Behavior is an interdisciplinary journal designed to report rigorous experimental and theoretical work focusing on the influence of the physical environment on human behavior at the individual, group, and institutional levels.

ENVIRONMENT & BEHAVIOR is an interdisciplinary journal designed to report rigorous experimental and theoretical work focusing on mutual influences between the physical environment and human behavior at the individual, group, and institutional levels.

Articles are sought in the following areas:

Theoretical work on the interrelationships between human environments and behavioral systems. Methodological papers will be considered, provided the primary focus concerns the environment-behavior relationship.

Reports on research relating to evaluation of environments designed to accomplish specific objectives—e.g., the social effects of different kinds of living accommodations or the effectiveness of hospital treatment areas.

Studies relating to the beliefs, meanings, values, and attitudes of individuals or groups concerning various environments—e.g., the meanings and values attached to neighborhoods, cities, transport routes and devices, or recreational areas. These studies are especially welcomed if they have behavioral data as well.

Word documents to upload should include a 100- to 150-word abstract and 4 to 5 keywords, and tables and figures should be on separate pages.

Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content. Authors in doubt about what constitutes prior publication should consult the editor.

Authors who want to refine the use of English in their manuscripts might consider utilizing the services of SPi, a non-affiliated company that offers Professional Editing Services to authors of journal articles in the areas of science, technology, medicine or the social sciences. SPi specializes in editing and correcting English-language manuscripts written by authors with a primary language other than English. Visit http://www.prof-editing.com for more information about SPi’s Professional Editing Services, pricing, and turn-around times, or to obtain a free quote or submit a manuscript for language polishing.
